F.A.Q - Smartmedia Pro

1. Q: Can SmartMedia Pro support multiple lessons being delivered at the same time?

A. Yes, you can set up various classes on different channel numbers.

2. Q: I have a sound card and microphone, but I can not use the functions of voice broadcasting or voice chat?

A: First, you must make sure that the sound card driver has been installed correctly. You must also verify that you have chosen the microphone tab options "audio input devices" "program volume control". If everything is fine, it should be possible to use the voice functions. The Voice Chat and Conversation Student require the presence of a duplex sound card. You can check by using a regular reader and select a. WAV file to be played. While reading, open the recording function and verify that the registration is possible. If it is, it means that your computer has a duplex sound card. If not, it means that the sound card is simplex.

3. Q: Why are my students not able to hear the audio from the teacher on their computers or tablets?

A: First, you must make sure that the teacher computer is equipped with a duplex sound card and sound cards of all computer students are working properly. Subsequently, in the configuration register (Recording setting) of the main interface of the computer teacher, click the arrow of the recording device and select Stereo Mixer (mixer output) or a similar function and dull it.

4. Q: Why am I having problems broadcasting video files?

A: To be able to broadcast video files, the teacher's computer's processor must be greater than the Celeron 400 and have the following settings. First, in the system configuration (system setting), you must set the quality of broadcasting and recording to high quality (broadcast & recording high efficiency) and the compensation transmission to low intensity (network compensation low intensity) in attributes (display attribute), you must also set the hardware acceleration (hardware acceleration) as empty. To do this, open the page display attributes, select the configuration (setting), click Advanced, select performance, set the hardware acceleration as empty and restart the computer.

5. Q: Why are the student's computers not connecting to the teacher's computer?

A: Make sure that the student's computer and the teacher's computer have the same channel number, then use the ping command to verify that the TCP/IP protocol is properly connected between the student's computer and the teacher's computer (network resources are not in line reliable source). If it was not connected, verify, or reinstall the TCP/IP protocol.
